‘James Bond 24’ confirmed for 2014

The next 007 outing, Skyfall, is due for release this year, but the 24th move in the classic spy franchise has now been officially announced. The plans were revealed by the Sony Pictures president of worldwide distribution Rory Bruer at CinemaCon, according to ComingSoon.net.

Bruer made the announcement following a screening of the teaser trailer for Skyfall, which revealed a sequence of quick-cut sequences from star Daniel Craig, alongside Judi Dench and Ralph Fiennes.

The trailer begins with Bond apparently being interrogated, before cutting to a slew of action sequences. At the end of the trailer, Craig says: “Some men are coming to kill us. We’ve got to kill them first.”

Skyfall, Craig’s third outing as 007, is directed by Sam Mendes and due for release on October 26. It co-stars Javier Bardem as the main villain and Naomie Harris and Berenice Marlohe as the ‘Bond girls’. The first theatrical trailer is expected next month.
